Explanation:

A 24-year-old Vadodara woman, Kshama Bindu, on June 2, 2022 announced that she would marry herself on June 11, 2022, in what she described as an “act of self-love”. The wedding is being seen as one of the first instances of self-marriage or “sologamy” in India.

• Sologamy is the act of marrying oneself in a public ceremony, also referred to as self-marriage or autogamy. While such a marriage has no legal sanction or status, the symbolic ceremony is used by many as an act to emphasize their self-love and independence.
• Sologamy can be traced back to Linda Baker, a dental hygienist from the US, who married herself in 1993. It is widely considered the first publicized act of self-marriage.

Why is the trend finding resonance across the globe?

• In present times, women can afford to live on their own, build their careers, buy their homes, create their own lives, have children if they choose.
• Women also frame self-matrimony as a unique solution to the problem of women sacrificing their own needs in a relationship. Marry yourself first, they say, before marrying anyone else.

Hence both statements are correct.
